Elaeagnus × ebbingei 'Compacta' Pleached is a fantastic choice for creating instant evergreen screening, privacy and structure in the garden. Trained onto a clear stem with a pleached framework above, it creates an attractive elevated screen while keeping the space underneath relatively open – ideal for screening above fences and walls or creating a smart garden boundary.

The dense evergreen foliage is made up of leathery, dark green leaves with attractive silvery undersides, providing year-round colour and coverage. Elaeagnus is naturally tough and reliable, coping particularly well with exposed positions and coastal conditions once established. Small, creamy-white flowers can appear in autumn, adding a subtle fragrance amongst the foliage.

The compact growth habit of 'Compacta' makes it particularly well suited to pleaching, producing dense foliage that responds well to regular trimming. Plant several in a row to create a neat, contemporary living screen that can be maintained to your desired shape and size.
